Zimbabwe and Zambia kicked off their big energy summit in Livingstone, where government officials and private companies are trying to figure out how to get more power projects moving in the region. The whole thing is about getting mines and energy infrastructure actually built instead of just talked about.
Zambia's Provincial Minister Credo Nanjuwa basically told everyone to stop yapping and start closing deals because people need electricity, not more conferences. Zimbabwe's Deputy Minister Yeukai Simbanegavi mentioned her country is opening up more to private investment as part of its economic plan. The event has backing from major players like Copperbelt Energy Corporation and the power companies ZESA and ZESCO.
